Has anyone figured a good practice for integrating components in  
Rails? render\_component has exactly the interface I need but its  
depreciated and in generally hated on by everyone. I looked at ezra’s  
cell’s plugin, but it doesnt look like its gotten much traction.

I’m building a module based application so I cant use only partials (I  
already tried that route… it was a clusterf\*%&). Performance isnt a  
problem for me yet (the site has super low traffic), so I’m going to  
keep on using render\_component, but I’d love to switch if someone has  
a better alternative.

Thanks in advance!
